-- 27th Hong Kong Film Awards --

The 27th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held on April 13 Evening. Jet Li receives Best Actor award for his excellent performance in Warlords, which sweeps through the event with seven other wins, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Visuals, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effects.

Jet Li says that he does not intend to thank director Peter Chan, for had the latter told him earlier that he'd win an award doing drama roles, he would not have done over 20 years of action films. He also expresses gratitude to the panel and his fans. He says there are too many people he'd like to thank, the scriptwriter, the director, his mother and father, his wushu mentor Wu Bin, Shaolin Temple's director Cheung Sing Yim...

Best Screenplay goes to Au Kin Yee and Wai Kar Fai for Mad Detective. Donnie Yen wins Best Action Direction for his fresh and bold choreography for Flash Point. Lydia Shum, who passed away in February, was honoured posthumously with Professional Spirit Award.  Sina
